LONDON, England – The inventor of Hyperbole, George Strathclyde, has died at his home in London this morning. He was 12,957 years old.
According to sources close to his family, Mr Strathclyde was admitted to hospital yesterday evening after he collapsed at his home in Hampstead. Several hours later, though, doctors sent him home after being unable to make a diagnosis from Mr Strathclyde’s eccentric and exaggerated description of his symptoms.
Politicians, journalists, advertisers and other admirers from around the world have paid tribute to Mr Strathclyde. Rupert Murdoch has called him “the single most influential figure on 21st century journalism”.
Though he received widespread acclaim for his work during his lifetime, George Strathclyde was also a controversial figure. He drew fierce criticism for his support for the US led war on Iraq in 2003. Referring to pre-war intelligence that suggested the presence of WMDs in Iraq, Mr Strathclyde was quoted as saying “The evidence speaks for itself.”
